normally second term presidents turn to foreign policy to have more maneuverability. the photo op with he and putin, it was like they were waiting for a physical they didn't want to go to. wasn't great body language. >> found out they were fighting over the gym. >> and the same with murkel. the relationship with all of the european leaders is frosty. the "the new york times" had a piece saying george w. bush was better at personal diplomacy than president obama is. the cumulative effect, you have a guy going to europe, trying to bolster his credentials as president and seemed more diminished by it. part of it has to do with the fact he spent so little time pushing the necessity for the war on terror that when the mechanics of the war on terror, like the nsa program and so forth come forward, he doesn't have goodwill or rhetoric or rhetorical record to defend any of these. >> we have to take a break. next up, the tea party and the irs. test test test. test test. >>> i am like most americans horrified that my government has gotten out of control and is persecuting peopl
